Terms of use

Please read this Agreement carefully. Since the Service is designed to provide an enjoyable and informative experience, as well as the free-flow exchange of information and comments, its users must abide by certain rules. Your use of the Service will constitute your agreement to comply with these rules.

Use of the Service by you

Your right to use the Service is personal to you. You may not authorise others to use the Service, and you are responsible for all of your own use of the Service.

You may not download, modify, transmit or otherwise use any material from the Service for public or commercial purposes. The Service's content, information and advice is free of charge (unless otherwise stipulated). However, you are responsible for your own network and connection charges.

Other than connecting to Healthy Life Media Limited's servers by HTTP requests using a web browser, you may not attempt to gain access to Healthy Life Media Limited's servers by any means - including, without limitation, by using administrator passwords or by masquerading as an administrator while using the Service or otherwise.

You agree not to disrupt, modify or interfere with the Service or its associated software, hardware and servers in any way and you agree not to impede or interfere with others' use of the Service. You further agree not to alter or tamper with any information or materials on, or associated with, Healthy Life Media Limited and/or the Service.

You acknowledge that Healthy Life Media Limited has not reviewed and does not endorse the content of any or all sites linked to or from the Service and is not responsible for the content or actions of any other sites linked to or from the Service. Linking to any other service or site from the Service is at your sole risk.

Security

To ensure that your credit card or other personal details are kept secure in transit on the Internet, we use a Thawte Consulting 256-bit digital certificate to encrypt the data going to and from the web site. Look for the secure page entry messages that you get notified from your browser and for the web address to change to "https" (secure web page transfers). We have also provided a link through a Thawte Consulting logo to their website and this will inform you of the confirmed security details for the digital certificate.

In addition, the Green Ideas web site is hosted behind a commercial firewall to prevent hackers from obtaining access to your data. Even if this unlikely event does occur, we do not keep a record of your full credit card number after the payment has been processed. After processing, your credit card numbers are automatically deleted from the site. Only authorised personnel from the Green Ideas site administration and our hosting provider (Infinity Solutions) are allowed electronic access to the web server or databases.

The overwhelming majority of online transactions are completed without incident. While the possibility of being defrauded by a third-party seller is minimal, there are some risks. Healthy Life Media Limited and Infinity Solutions and its affiliates shall not be liable to you or any third parties for any direct, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages allegedly sustained arising out of your use of credit card transactions on this site. This includes fraudulent charges alleged to have been obtained from your use of the Service, regardless of the type of claim or the nature of the cause of action. You use this facility at your own risk.

Alternate methods of payment. If you do not wish to use your credit card to shop online, you have the option to set up payment by direct debit or using a personal cheque (by mail order) or in cash (by visiting our office). The option of using credit card will remain available to you in the event that you change your mind. Please contact us if you wish to arrange an alternative method of payment.

Green Ideas has a strong privacy policy relating to all information that you provide through this web site and we will take all reasonable steps to prevent any data being inappropriately released or misused.

Privacy policy

Healthy Life Media Limited is committed to bringing you the best, most interesting information possible, tailored where we can to your individual needs. We are also committed to protecting your privacy.

We will not collect any information about individuals, except where it is specifically and knowingly provided by them. Examples of such information are: name, address, telephone number, email address and age.

The information collected will be used to send you the information you have requested and to help us develop the site to be useful to you. We may share non-personal aggregate statistics (group) data about our readers, sales and traffic patterns with partners or other parties. However, we do not sell or share any information about individual readers.

The Service may also place cookies on your computer. These are only accessible by us and will only be used to track the pages of websites visited by you, in order for us to build a better site more tailored to your needs and interests. Our cookies do not record personal information about you, merely your computer.

If you choose to subscribe to the Green Ideas editor's newsletter, we will from time to time email you with special offers or deals from our partners or sponsors. This service is completely discretionary. If you decide you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, just follow the unsubscribe instructions contained within the email.

Whilst we make every effort to provide you with links to high quality, reputable sites, they are not under our day-to-day control. When you click through to these sites you leave the area controlled by Healthy Life Media Limited. We cannot therefore accept responsibility for any issues arising in connection with either their use of your data, the site content or the services offered to our readers by these sites.

In addition to Healthy Life Media Limited's safeguards, your personal data is protected in New Zealand by the Privacy Act. This provides, amongst other things, that the data we hold about you should be processed lawfully and fairly. It should be accurate, relevant and not excessive. The information should be kept up to date, where necessary, and not retained for longer than is necessary. You have the right to see what is held about you and correct any inaccuracies. Healthy Life Media Limited treats all the data held with the utmost care and security. Any details you give will remain completely confidential.

You grant Healthy Life Media Limited a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide licence to republish any material you submit to us, without limitation, in any format.

Healthy Life Media Limited reserves the right to terminate your use of the service if we believe you are abusing the service in any way, or have breached the terms and conditions.
